4.0 out of 5 stars Small, Stylish, and Functional, February 18, 2008

By	R. Darrah - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The G66 obtains fixes quite quickly, locks onto a lot of satellites, and sends coordinate information an amazing 5 times per second to GeoNiche or other GPS software.

It's incredibly small, measuring about a half inch shorter and a quarter inch narrower than a standard business card. The whole thing is only a quarter inch thick, which is about half the thickness of a Palm Tungsten TX. It's quite easy to tuck it away somewhere, such as a shirt pocket, or the bill of a baseball cap.

The G66 has no moving parts or obvious LEDs to interfere with its high tech black and white stylish exterior. The standard three indicators (power, GPS, and Bluetooth) can be seen only when the unit is on. They appear about halfway between the button-sensor and the logo at the top (see picture from the link above).

It charges through a standard mini-USB plug connected to any USB port on your computer. A car charger (which can also charge other devices that charges through a standard mini-USB plug) is included. Even though it does not come with a wall charger, these are readily available.

There is a recessed pin-activated reset button (that I hope I will never have to use) and an anchor point for a lanyard. The unit is so tiny and light that I hardly notice it when worn around my neck.

It doesn't appear to have a changeable battery. But I haven't had to replace the batteries in my other Bluetooth GPS receivers and I am hopeful that this one won't need changing by the time I move on to something else.

The manual is full of amusing bad English (it is the most thinnest!) but it's not so bad that the meaning is lost.

The G66 comes bundled with some software that I cannot use. But, I use it with GeoNiche and it should work with most any other GPS software. I hope bundled software didn't increase the retail price I paid.

They claim a battery life of "up to" 20 hours of continuous use per charge. It will be a while before I can measure this for myself.
